The radical left’s hatred for President Trump’s “America First” successes has officially reached a point of clinical insanity.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer embarrassed himself on national television after refusing again and again to admit a simple truth: weakening the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism is a good thing.And it wasn’t a conservative who called him out, it was MSNOW’s own Joe Scarborough.It was so bad that even far-left host Joe Scarborough was forced to stop the Senator mid-ramble and demand a straight answer.During a heated segment on Morning Joe, Scarborough pressed Schumer with what should have been an easy, straightforward question:“Is it a good thing that Iran’s military infrastructure is being degraded… yes or no?”But instead of answering directly, Schumer launched into a rambling deflection about hypothetical future consequences.“No… no… you can’t, because it’s a premature question. What is going to happen in the next several months?”Unbelievable. To Chuck Schumer, asking if we should be happy that terrorists have fewer missiles to point at to the US and our allies is a “premature question.”The exchange became even more surreal as Scarborough tried to explain basic logic to the Senate Leader. When Schumer attempted to pivot to fear-mongering about gas prices and the “world economy,” Scarborough finally snapped.Mika Brzezinski tried to jump in to save Schumer, calling the inquiry a “trick question.” Since when is asking if a terror regime should be weakened a “trick”?Chuck Schumer:…And Iran sees that they have real leverage here, right, that it’s harder and harder.Joe Scarborough:All right, so, Senator—no, no, hold on a second. You’ve got to answer my question first. Yeah. Is it a good thing that Iran—and I think you would agree with me, the epicenter of terrorism in the world since 1979—is it good that their military infrastructure is being degraded to the degree that it is? Yes or no?Chuck Schumer:No, no, no. It’s—you can’t, because it’s a premature question. What is going to happen in the next several months?Joe Scarborough:No, no, I can ask that question.Chuck Schumer:Well, you can’t separate—Joe Scarborough:No, no, no. So you have a military side of it. I can show you my chart, but I think I threw it away. You have the military side, you have the political side. I’m simply asking, on the military side, is it good—regardless of whether we agree with going in or not—is it good that Iran’s military infrastructure has been seriously—Chuck Schumer:And again, I have to tell you, Joe—first, you can’t—what’s going to happen three months from now? Is it worth it? What’s going to happen? Will the world economy collapse? Will something happen even worse? Will the whole energy infrastructure of the world go up in smoke? So you have to—when they do it without planning, when they do it without understanding where they’re going—Mika Brzezinski:But it’s a trick question. It’s a trick question.Panel:No, it’s not.Mika Brzezinski:If you do not strategize the consequences of the action—the military action—if you obliterate and do all these things but you don’t actually play out in your minds and have strategy for the consequences, then it may not make sense.Joe Scarborough:Let me answer the question for everybody in America. The answer: yes, it’s good that the terrorist regime—their military and capabilities—have been degraded radically. The question, Mika, though, is political. It’s the political question. What is the political impact? What’s the impact in the Straits? What’s the impact in the region?Chuck Schumer:With all due respect, if you ask the American people—if you have the choice of degrading the military structure in Iran but having gasoline be $6 a gallon and our economy falling into a deep recession where millions lose their jobs—what do you think of that?Joe Scarborough:Senator, you’re not listening to me. That’s the political side of it.Chuck Schumer:No, it’s not political. It’s a consequence, just like Mika said.Joe Scarborough:Why don’t we talk about the Yankees, because you’re not following me here with all due respect.Chuck Schumer:I am following you. I just don’t agree with you.Joe Scarborough:Well, you—you don’t understand me. There’s a big difference. I would say that most Americans would say it’s a good thing that it’s degraded. Would they agree that we should have gone to war, Mika? I think most Americans—you look at the polls—they don’t want this war. Okay, they don’t want this war. But there is—it’s something that I think the Democrats should be—I think it’s something, with all due respect, Democrats should be clear about. Iran has tried to kill Americans since 1979. Do you think—hold on—two things can be true at once. It can be good that Iran’s killing machine has been degraded. At the same time, the consequences may outweigh the good that come from that.Chuck Schumer:It’s okay to say that. I don’t disagree with you. The fact that the leader, Khamenei, is gone—no one regrets that. The fact that Iran has less ability to create military trouble is—no one disputes that. But you have to look—I don’t think it’s political, to be very honest with you. It’s the consequences—the military, the geopolitical, the economic consequences. I’m saying geopolitical. Let me finish.Joe Scarborough:You just said what I was saying—the geopolitical consequences.Chuck Schumer:Right.WATCH:!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u5o49d"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v75cahq","div":"rumble_v75cahq"});The post Spineless Chuck Schumer REFUSES to Admit Weakening Iran Terror Regime Is a GOOD Thing — Even Leftist Joe Scarborough Has To Fact-Check Him: “Senator You Are Not Listening to Me” appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
